Communications Minister Stephen Conroy announced the changes today following a controversial trial to filter the internet which was conducted earlier this year.

Legislation will be introduced into Parliament next year which will require all ISPs to block material which has been refused classification in other countries.

Does your country track down people downloading stuff?
Does your country got a governmental organisation who's job is to check the contents of everything you do online?
Does your country block youtube clips that have copyrighted materials?
Did your government throw the pirate bay into a trial and then decided they were guilty of crimes?

The pirate bay is still up so I guess sweden is not that bad.

Why yes, but the people who own the site are mighty poor now. they had to pay for "the damage" they caused.

You know, in my country, the people have the right to rise up against a government that they feel is being tyrannical.

You guys ought to try that method out. It seems to work every once in a France.

Whats wierd is I always think America is bad enough with censoring things but after learning the number of games banned in Australia from sex and blood in them seems censorship is worse there.

Well a giant protest worked in China when they were planning to do that. Well it only worked for a little while.

Well they were stupid to try selling it.

Come to Britain. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the sheer number of freedoms and civil liberties the government doesn't think you can be trusted with.

Don't worry bro. They know if they push it to far it will start a civil war.  You can't do that to the people and just carry on with your day.  People will strike up against this **** because it's a form of "control" and removal of freedom.

Has that ever actually worked or been acted upon? Because in my 23 years, I've never seen it once. :P

Just like America! But replace "king" with a variety of other political figures.

Well, we as a collective haven't really felt that the government has become a tyranny. Kind of hard to ask if it's ever worked if we haven't had a chance to try it. However, impeachments have occurred, if that's worth anything to you.

I know, I know, same country. Then again, you got to wonder, what does classify as "tyranny" and at what level one has to reach to become bad enough to be "tyrannical".

This is possibly the most uninformed post on the internet today.
You have no power. And if you did, youre too busy being complacent to use it.
They do that to people every day, and carry on with their days.
Ever wonder why there is rarely civil wars in 1st world nations theese days?
In america, its because theyre all too fat. In canada its because its too cold, and nobody really gives a ****. I cant speak for the rest of the world...but...putting quotes around a word like controll dosen't give you any more merit to your statement.


Your government is going to filter your information. Get used to it.
The internet is still in its infancy. Its going to get worse, and youre going to have to suck it up, and start paying for things again.

And frankly, even though I spend my share of time on various chans, I agree with it. THe CP is out of controll.

You use the word freedom. This is funny. All americans do. Thedy talk about how "If somebody takes their freedums away" theyll "rise up"

Your freedoms are already gone, and you were all too fat to do **** about it.
